It sounds like your bunny might be having trouble seeing, if he is running into everything. There are a few causes for the blindness, including a tumor, abscess, cataracts, or an infection caused by E. cunniculi. He needs to be seen by a vet as soon as possible to determine what might be the cause, because if there is treatment available it should be given soon so the damage doesn't become permanent.
